Konami while developing the Crissagrim: "It’s a rare drop from an enemy only in the reverse library, what are the chances people will actually ever find it? Let’s make it beat everything in the game for free."
While developing Alucard shield’s shield rod effect: “So it should be ridiculous damage recover mana and make Alucard invincible? It’s not instantly obvious that it has this effect so maybe people won’t try it…”
Warning this is my 1st video. So its pretty lackluster.

Constructive criticisms is very welcome since I really want to get better at editing and such.
Love the Vergil combos dripped in Swag
and the tax-master screen, lol
Liked your team when you first mentioned it. Still do.
nice video AceKillah. your vid is making me consider picking Vergil up again.
Wow, that was a great video. Really did a good job of getting me hyped for that team.
Spent all day getting my ass kicked in Marvel (played like shit). But I did manage to finish FF13-2, and feel compelled to report on that… shrug
I’m very happy with the whole thing, the main story is well put together and complete and the gameplay and content are good. The way the execution of the storytelling is miles ahead of anything in any other JRPG too. My biggest miff is that there are alot of lose threads (3 really, really, big ones that I won’t mention unless you guys finish), but they aren’t essential to the main plot, and square says they will DLC to filling the gaps later.
Bottom line, it’s been too long since a good FF game. 13-2 is in my opinion the best FF since X (But nowhere near as good as X to be fair).
Did you finish the main story or the complete game?
That’s good to hear. Like really good. I couldn’t stand XII. X-2 and XIII I enjoyed, but agree in that they didn’t compare to X or my other fav FFs.
I’m not sure what you mean by “complete” I beat the main quest and have 125/160 fragments. Now I’m working on alternate endings and other fragments.
Yeah that’s what i meant. ^^ i beat the main quest this past weekend too and am now hunting for fragments and stuff. It’s so much more fun than doing the same shit over and over like it was in the late game of XIII.
Funny thing is, it really isn’t that different from 13. It just kinda proves my point/hypothosis that 13 was really close to doing alot of things right, but never actually succeeded in doing anything right.
My biggest surprise is the story/characters. All the reviews were talking about how bad they were, but I though the 3 main characters (Serah/Noel/Caius) were great, and the main part of the plot made sense and was reasonably good, if a bit convoluted. There’s still those big 3 loose ends the game just kind of ignored, but we’ll see what the DLC actually is.
hmm ill give ffXIII-2 chance over spring break. my brother also seems to enjoy it so it probably wont disappoint me
Can you guys believe that someone on the Zero board said that this corner carry combo is impractical because Zero needs to have a charged buster? lol
First vid btw:

Up Raikosen… I never thought of that, I’ve been doing the falling jB stuff, but that looks much more stable.
I still fuck up the LL way too much though… 
On a random note, I got whooped yesterday. Played a bunch of Marvel, and around here I usually boast roughly an 80% win rate… But Hulk just kept happening, and I was playing like shit.
I used to have Hulk problems with c.viper, no matter how hard I try with the match-up I feel like I can’t stop him… Luckily Zero destroys Hulk for free, 2 hit projectile, 3 hit buster and 3 hit s.H all kill his super armor moves
I noticed the LL is much easier if you do the motions nice and slow unlike rapid seismos where you want to do them as fast as possible… I dig into the stick and make sure I feel every direction(no homo)
I usually handle Hulk pretty well, but not this last week. Would have lost alot more if not for Zero (Jackass Gamma Crush’d through Zero’s jC a few times… annoying).
My friend plays Dorm/Hulk/Taskmaster, it’s a pretty annoying team to deal with actually.
lol no joke, those are my three most hated characters to play against
He only recently put task on there, so i didn’t have the most experience blocking Dorm’s teleports. It’s fucking obnoxious how, when he teleports behind you in the corner, how your character (and Dorm) doesn’t really turn around until Dorm practically hits the ground. Makes it look like he’ll land in front of you… untill he doesn’t. Gotten used to that though. Dorm is just hella good in this game, and he does pretty well against Zero. Less so against Viper, but with that Hulk assist it’s just annoying because you can’t really punish anything, you just gotta go super lame… which opens yourself up to Arrows+Port as an approach/mixup. It’s annoying.
